Mr C. BAILEY, M.P., moved a resolution to the effeot that the sum named be subscribed towards the new dock. He referred to the progress of other South Wales ports through possessing ample dock accommodation, and similar results would follow, in his opinion, the construction of new docks at Newport. Mr T. BROWN seconded the resolution. He held that in advocating dock extension he was not only advocating the interests of the Monmouthshire Company, but of the old Dock Company as well. Mr CARTWRIGHT maintained that the present docks would be found sufficient for the trade for years to come, and he adduced statistics shewirg that the old dock had been a very unprofitable investment to the shareholders, QTRAND MUSICK HALL.

Handley Cross led, closely attended by Nell Digby, Warrior, and connection, the favourite, with Quarantine and troublesome, lying off. On entering the straight they closed and ran in company to within the distance, where Handley Cross declined, when Stockinger appeared in front, and, having all his horses safe at the stand, won in a canter by four lengths. There were three lengths between the second and third; Connection was fourth, Warrior fifth. A Handicap Plate of 25 soya. Winners extra. About five furlongs.

A succession of false starts attended the efforts of the starter, principally occasioned by the over.anxiety of the riders of Brother to Rubini and Armadillo, the latter break ing away no less than four times, and running to the stand before Cranshaw could stop him. This caused three-quarters of an hour to be wasted, and when the flag was lowered Practitioner, getting away in company with Bella, Merry Harp, Czarina, and Brother to Rubini, carried on the running into the distance, where Bella and Merry Harp gave way to Captain Cooper's filly and the favourite, who joined the leader at the stand, the three finishing a good race home; Practitioner who had never been fairly reached, winning cleverly by a length; a length and a half separated second and third; Armadillo, who ran through his horses at the last, was fourth, and Bella fifth. The last two were Merry Harp and Hope. The Longner Hall Steeplechase Handicap Plate of 50 sous. _ Winners extra. About two miles. 18 subs. Mr Davies's Bowman, 6 yrs, list llb ..(Harding) 1 Mr D.

The directors of this company have given notice of in tended application to Parliament for power to amalgamate the West Hartlepool Railway and Harbour Company and the Cleveland Railway Company with the North-Eastern Company on such terms and conditions as may have been or may be hereafter agreed upon. A provisional agreement for amalgamation has been en tered into between the directors of the North-Eastern and the director of the Hartlepool Company, subject to the approval of the shareholders of both companies, to the effect that for the year ending July, 1865, the net earnings of the Hartlepool Company are to be divided among Class A and Class B and the ordinary stooks as provided by the act, 1863. The amalgamation is to commence or take effect on the Ist of July, 1866, and the North-Eastern Company, on obtaining Parliamentary sanction, are to substitute for the West H.artlepel classes A and B stocks a corresponding amount of North-Eastern preferential stock, carrying a per petual guaranteed dividend at the rate of £4 per cent. per annum, from the Ist of July, 1868, with intermediate gua ranteed dividends for the year commencing the Ist of July, 1865, at £3 ss—for the year commencing the Ist of July, 1866, at £3 10s—and for the year commencing the Ist of July, 1867, at £3 15s per cent. per annum.

Glocester Gambier, CAL, Deputy-Adjutant. General Royal Artillery, has been promulgated by order of the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief, in which it is announced that his Royal Highness, with the concurrence of the Right Hon. the Secre tary of State for War, bas given instructions for the name of Gen. Sir Robert William Gardiner, G.C.8., K.C.H., to be added to the names inscribed on the memorial pillar in the rotunda at Woolwich. His Royal Highness deems it unnecessary to recite to the Royal Artillery the special actions in which this distinguished officer acquired his own military reputation, and contributed, with many gallant comrades, to raise the fame of the British Artillery. He expresses his earnest desire that the long service and strenuous exertions of Sir William Gardiner for the benefit of his corps, and that the personal cha% ratter of this officer, conspicuous for its dignity and chivalry, should be permanently and publicly corn• memorated. A general order from the Horse Guards, signed by Lieut.-General the Hon e Sir James Yorke Scar lett, K.C.8., Adjutant-General, has been received and promulgated at Chatham, containing the red vised code of rules and regulations for admission to the Staff College. Under the new rules ail applica tions to study at the Staff College must be made while the officer making it is present and serving with his regiment, through the commanding officer. No application from an cffiaer on leave will be en tertained. Although only one officer can be spared from a battalion at a time for the purpose of study., ing at the college, this will not necessarily prevent a battalion sending more than one to compete at an examination if circumstances admit of their absence from their regiment. The principle under which officers are allowed to enter the Staff College being that of pure competition, it follows that candidates who may be found quadfied at any examination, but who from want of a sufficient number of vacan cies cannot then be admitted, will not have any claim to subsequent admission without undergoing another competitive examination. Lieut.• Col. G. H. Vesey has been appointed to the command of the Ist division of the Depot Bri• gade Royal Artillery during the absence on leave of Lieut.. Col. W. H. Fooks. On Wednesday evening the Duke of Someiset, K.G., accompanied by Admiral Charles Eden, C. 8., and by Captain Hall, R.N,, private secretary to his Grace, arrived at the Admiralty-house, Portsmouth dockyard, the residence of Admiral Sir 11. Seymour, G.C.H., Port Admiral and Commander-in-Chief, from London. Yesterday morning it blew a hard gale, with con tinuous rain, from the southward, but the Duke, ac companied by Admiral Eden and Capt. Hall, and by Sir Michael Seymour, Admiral Superintendent G. Elliot, Capt. Sherard Osborn, C. 8., of the Royal Sovereign; Captain Astley Key, C. 8., of the gun. nery ship Excellent, Captain C. P. Cales, R.N., and other officers, embarked on board the Admiral's barge at the King's stairs of the dockyard, and pro. needed on board the Royal Sovereign, now lying in mid-stream in the upper part of Portsmouth harbour. The Duke was conducted over the ship, and all rfquired explanations were given by Cap tains Osborn and Coles. One of the turrets was entered, and the winches being manned it was made to revolve and the principle was fully ex plained. The importance was pointed out of being able by a partial revolving movement in 45 seas, to throw the port out of the sight of the enerny,and thus effectually closo the port to an enemy's shot without the use of the objectionable port swing shut ters, which were found to be so liable to getismmtd by shot on board the American Monitors. The gun carriages were then examined, and the reasons explained for believing in the superiority of the wrought-iron carriages, with which it is proposed to supersede the wooden ones at present in use for mounting 12-ton guns. The new leather collar now fitting round each turret at the deck line was also examined and explained. From the Royal Sovereign the Duke and officers accompanying him went on board the gunnery ship Excellent, where the two 12• ton guns, one rifled and the other smooth-bo•e, were exhibited. Their peculiarities, in the guns themselves and their carriages, were ex• plained and commented upon by Captain Astley Key, C.B. From the Excellent the Duke returned to the Admiralty House, and in the afternoon, ac companied by Admiral Eden and Captain Hall, he returned by the South-Western Railway to Lon don. It may not be inopportune to refer in this brief notice of the visit of the Duke of Somerset to the 12-ton guns mounted in turrets on board the Royal Sovereign,and in broadside ports on board the Excellent, to the remarks made by General Todle hen during his recent visit to Portsmouth and the Royal Sovereign on the broadside and turret ports of ironclads. The General said that in measuring the port on the broadside of an ironclad it had be come the custom to give the outside measurement, whereas its true size must be measured on its inside —on the inner side of the inverted embrasure, which wno, and which constituted its real weak ness. The General might also have added that the broadside ports of our ironclads have become so contracted that the gunners on board would but seldom obtain a glimpse of the enemy—the glimpse could only be momentary, and the damage they would inflict upon them by the discharge of their guns would, therefore, most probably be very trifling The Victoria screw three-decker, 121 guns, 1,000- horse power, Captain James Goodenough, steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday and anchored at Spithead, in readiness for her trial on Saturday, and her voyage to the Mediterranean, as flagship of the British Admiral in that station, in company with French, Italian, and Austrian iron-glad fleets. A series of important trials, with a view of test ing the relative merits of two ship's pumps, was yesterday commenced in Woolwich dockyard. The trials, more properly speaking, were to test the working powers of a newly-invented fire-engine and bilge pump, manufactured by Messrs. Morton and Wilson, of Stockton-on-Tees, in competition with the "Downton pump," manufactured by Messrs. J. Stone and Co., of Deptford, and used upwards of 40 years on board the ships of Her Majesty's ser. vice with success. The experiments took place under the supervision of Commodore Dunlop, superintendent—Mr George Turner and Mr William Henwood, superintending shipbuilders of the yard —Commander Biddlecombe, master-attendant—Mr. Gossage, from the department of the Storekeeper 9eneral of the Navy,,the Hon. Robert Dandas, and other officials. They were carried out on board the old paddlewheel sloop Hecate. The two pumps were fixed within working distance of each other on the orlop deck, and were manned by eight men, who worked the two pumps in succession, each being fitted with auction-pipes leading to a tank on a raft under the ship's bows, and capable of containing about four tune, or 860 gallons of water. The first pump put to the test was the Wilson pump, whi c h filled the tank in 11 minutes 46 seconds, making 501 revolutions. This was considered highly satis factory. At a given time the process of filling the tank through the medium of the Downton pump was commenced and completed in ten minutes 18 seconds, making 478 revolutions, thereby corrobora ting the opinion generally entertained of its efficiency and value. The respective firms were represented at the trial by their senior members. On the part of the Messrs Stone and Co. it was stated that their Downton pump used on the occasion was but little more than two-thirds the size or capacity of the Wilson pump, and that it laboured under the Now ready, at all the Libraries, in 3 vole., THE QUEEN OF THE COUNTY.

The first sod of this line, which will form a junction with the Cornwall Railway at the Burngallow station, and pass through the heart of the china clay and china stone district to a junction with the Newquay line at Hendra, was cut on Tuesday by Mrs Brydges Willyams, wife of the chairman of the company.

PUNJAB. It appears from recent adviees that this railway was com pleted from Mooltan to the 104th mile; that a train had run over that portion of the line on the Ist September; and that from the station near the 104th mile, towards Lahore, about half a mile of permanent way was, being laid daily. During the previous five hot months, through the energy displayed by the platelayers and other persons employed in the prosecution of the works, six miles of rails per month had been laid down. This called forth high encomiums from the Lieutenant-Governor, who desired it to be com municated to those connected with the works that the Go• vernment considers it duo to all to express its high com mendation of their services. The Viceroy had intimated his intention of officially opening a large section of the line from Lahore towards Mooltan on the 19th of October, and it was expected that the whole of the railway, 252 miles in length, would be opened for traffic in the month of January next.

TATTERSALL'S--THURSDAY. The first of the Mug and dull Thursdays for the season may be said to have commenced this afternoon,as, owing to the rain and the continuance of the Shrewsbury meeting, only have a dozen subscribers were present ; and these being professionals not a bet was made, and the smaller muster broke up early. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN MEETING. THURSDAY, The Steeplechase day, the great hs'iday of the country people, was unfortunately wet, and of course interfered much with the attendance, which is generally large on this occasion. The first three events call for ne particular notice. They were specimens of the usual racing one sees at Shrewsbury towards the close of the meeting, and, in deed, the less said about them the better. A match be tween Hesper and Biondella over the three furlong course, in which the former gave Mr Naylor's mare 161 b, was a mere gallop for Thellusson's new purchase, who will amply repay the price given for him. The Copeland Nursery, which last year was carried off by the splendid Irish colt Blarney, since unfortunately turned out a roarer, fell to that good animal Catalogue, who landed the Marquis of Hastings's successful colon's without being extended,— a great performance for the top weight in heavy ground, The JenkiEstown Handicap was not carried off by the giver of the added money, Lady Hylda running very badly, and not up to her Bedford form. The Lady Evelyn filly won very cleverly. Owing to the tedious delay at the post in the race for the llandicap Plate, during which Armadillo broke away and ran the entire course no less than lout times, the Steeple chase was ran at an hour which precludes all remark from us. It was a comparative failure, only four horses going for it, and Express, who made all the running, won in a canter. Mr Frail has most injudiciously determined to have a fifth day's racing to-morrow, for which wo should imagine few will feel inclined to stop. This is draining the cup to the very dregs.

A Court of Common Council was holden yesterday in the Council Chamber at Guildhall—tho Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presiding. THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Upon the motion of Mr Deputy RAWTREY, a resolution of thanks was unanimously passed to the late Lord Mayor, Mr Alderman Lawrence, for the services he had rendered the City in his capacity of Chief Magistrate during the past year, for his calm and impartial administration of justice, for the readiness with which he had presided at the unusual number of meetings of that Court which had been convened during his year of office, for his liberality and hospitality, and for the frank and courteous wanner in which ho had treated every member of the Cour t on all occasions ; which it was further resolved should be written on vellum and ornamented, and forwarded to the late Lord Mayor, and also that the resolution should bo recorded in the minutes of the Court. Mr Deputy FRY brought up a report from the Improve ment Committee, on a reference to reconsider their report relative to the expenditure incurred by the Commissioners of Sewers during the years 1862 and 1863 in effecting cer tain street improvements, and recommending that a sum of £l,OOO be contributed in respect of the improvements in Bull and Mouth-street, Paternoster-row,and Upper Thames street. Mr Deputy Fry, in introducing the report, drew the attention of the Court to the large sums which had been expended in improvements in the City, and said he had thought it right, conelUt3 cub tlav the finances of the Corporation, to object to certain grants beteg made which had been the subject of previous refe rences. It had been said that the Corporation had in years gone by contributed largely to street improvements, but he reminded the Court that at that time the Corporation had the 4d coal duty to fall back upon, whereas the whole of that duty had been laid by for years to come for other ob. jects. Nevertheless he said the Corporation had of late years contributed more towards improvements of the kind referred to out of their income, minus the 4d coal duty than they had while they were in the receipt of it ; for from the years 1801 to 1846 they had paid for public improvements £12,820, whereas from 1845 to 1861 they had contributed no less a sum than £32,770. The report which he brought up recomm ended that £l,OOO should be granted with re spect to certain improvements, and in moving the adoption of the report he did not ask them to agree to it, but he hoped the Court would consider well the step it was taking before granting the money. Mr LAWLE Y hoped that the recommendation of the com mittee would not be carried. He did not think for a moment that the financial state of the Corporation was at all despe rate. On the contrary, it was in a good condition, and they had only to husband their resources and be careful over the expenditure to remain in the same healthy condition as they were at the present time, and he moved that the contribu tion of the £l,OOO be not agreed to. Mr Deputy BONE seconded the amendment of Mr Law ley. He said the Corporation had plenty of money if it were used for legitimate purposes, but ho did not think the expenditure of £l,OOO, as recommended by tho committee, would bo prudent. It was well known that the finances of the corporation were never in a bettor state, but if they were called upon to pay sums of £l,OOO for such purposes, there would be a deficiency where there would otherwise have been a balance. Although the Corporation had plenty of money, there were no funds at present available for street improvements. They wore called on to pay a share in other improvements, and had to contribute one-tenth to every improvement that was carried out by another body, and ho hoped the Court would not agree to the report as far as regarded the contribution of £l,OOO. Mr DE JERSEY hoped the Court would agree to the re port, and was surprised that any discussion whatever should have arisen upon a matter of£l,ooo to be laid out on public improvements. The Court had granted much larger sums without a word of opposition, and it was only at the last Court that £17,000 was granted, in addition to what had been already spent, for the lunatic asylum, an undertaking which they wore not compelled to enter into. The Court had by previous resolutions resolved to contribute some thing towards the improvement mentioned in the report, and if they rejected the report they would be acting at va- , riance with those resolutions, which he was sure they would not think of doing. Mr MEDWIN opposed the adoption of the report. Mr Rudkin, Mr Saunders, and Mr Harris supported it. Finally, the report was agreed to, upon a division, by a large majority, and it was then referred to the Coal and Corn and Finance Committee, to consider and report from what fund the money was to be provided. _ _ _ Mr U.

The permission was granted, and the trial will most probably take place today. The Ariel, 6, screw sloop, Commander Chapman, arrived at Spithead yesterday from foreign service, having sailed from the Cape of Good Hope on the Ist of September, from St. Helena on the 17th, Ascent. 28th, Sierra Leone on the 12th of October, and Fayal on the 6th inst. She brought home as passengers Lieut. Bush, R.N., Mr Lew, paymaster, R.N., and a few naval invalids.

Sir Leopold M‘Clin tock, of her Majesty's ship Aurora, for the trial of Mr John Robertson, boatswain of the first class, and serving on board her Majesty's ship Victoria, on charges of drunkenness. Tne Court found the charges proved, and sentenced the prisoner to be dis missed his ship and placed at the bottom of the list. The boisterous state of the weather at Portsmouth having rendered it impossible to complete the red quired temporary repairs to the target-ship Alfred by to-day, the firing at her from the Whitworth gun. to test the penetration of shot under water, has been postponed for the present.

The Roman Wall, At the first meeting of the Society of Antiques ries last evening, Earl Stanhope, the president, in the chair, Mr Tite. M,P., read an interesting paper, in the form of a letter addressed to Mr Frederick Ouvry, the treasurer of the society, descriptive of some recently discovered remains of the walls of Roman London. He stated that in the year 1853 a beautiful tesselated pavement was found by him under Gresham House, in Broad-street, This inte resting discovery had always led Illr Tite to believe that similar remains existed in the same neighbour hood, further strengthened by the fact that in Trinity-square, just adjoining, a portion of the ancient wall of London still existed above ground, which, though not Roman, was supposed to rest on Roman foundations. In 1841 the Blackwell Rail. way, much further north than this point, cut through Roman remains of the great wall, but beyond that slight indication things remained in the same state until the autumn of this year. In August, 1864, certain very large works were undera taken in Cooper-row for the erection of immense warehouses to meet the increasing trade of London. These were entrusted to a London architect, Mr Clifton, a friend of Mr Tite, who iu August of this year brought him a photograph of some curious remains discovered in executing these works. Mr Tite visited the spot, and found a very extensive fragment of a Norman wall, with archer arrow slits and other defensive appliances. The fragment was 110 ft long, and in height from the bottom of the foundation to the top of the parapet 41ft. All the foundations and a considerable portion of the lower wall were undoubtedly Roman, built of square stones in mgulsr courses, with bonding courses of Roman brick of intense hardness and excellent cement. Mr Tito stated that the cement was so hard that he could not procure a whole brick for exhibi tion, but had obtained ono broken in half. This spe cimen seemed to be as hard as any red earthenware, and was, as was always the case with the Roman, more of what we should call a tile, being about a foot square, and 11- thick. The mortar between the bricks, unliko our modern system, was nearly as thick as the bricks themselves, and abounding in portions of pounded brick. Mr Tito showed the exact place of these remains in an ancient plan of London in the reign of Elizabeth, when the walls and gates were in existence. He then pointed out a few other localities where undoubted Roman re. mains of these walls were traceable—viz., Camo. mile-street, the street still called London-wall, and near Moorgate. In referring to the history of Ro man London Mr Tite pointed out that there could have been lno walls at the time when Suotonius abandoned it A.D. 61. He quoted some Norman historians, \Op referred the walls to a period as late as the Empress Helena, hitt his opinion seemed to be that they dated about the second century of our era. Of the distinctly Norman work above this level Mr Tite attributed that to the period when Archbishop Langton and William Marshal, Earl of Pembroke, had failed in their first endeavours to prevail on King John to restore the ancient laws contained in the Groat Charter; the associated Barons assumed their arms, and with their forces marched first to Northampton and thence to Bedford. They were favourably received there by William de Beauchamp, and there also came to them messengers from London, who privately advised them immediately to go thither. On this they advanced to Ware, and arrived at Aldgate after a night march on the 24th of May, 1215, the Sunday before Ascension Day. Finding the gates open, says Roger de Wendever, they en• tered the city without any tumult, while the inhas bitants were performing Divine service; for the rich citizens were favourable to the Barons, and the poor ones were afraid to complain of them. After this, the walls being in a ruinous state, they restored them, using the materials of the Jews' houses existing in the neighbourhood and then ded stroyed to build up the defences, which, as Fitz• stephen relates, were in a subsequent reign in a high state of excellence. Mr Tite pursued his hiss tory of the wall of London through its various phases of ruin and revival until the patriotic Lord Mayor, citizen, and draper Ralph Josoelyne, in 1477, completely restored all the walls, gates, and towers, in which work he was assisted by the Goldsmiths' and other companies, and by Sir Joha Crosby, a member of the Grocers' Company. The gradual increase of the necessities of the citizens for more space and the Great Fire of 1666 completed the destruction of these once important defences, and but few remains now exist to show their ex 4 tent and value. Mr Tite stated that the total area enclosed by the walls which still constitutes the great City of London is only about 380 acres. The paper read by Mr Tito was illustrated by beautiful. drawings of t a he lcioa r nt e ev m nee a ras in at s toio b wn y ,i /S tihn ir mW ß uh r a ci ch s h s a a At n ti d ern A tß l i r o l Y k I r a - t g m a a v i e r and ise was to Fellow of the society, took a prominent part. SINGULAR CAPTURE OF A HARE AND A SKATE AT LITTLEIIAMPTON.—A hare, which had doubt less been disturbed in the fields at the back, in attempting to cross the river, jumped from the quay on board the Uncle Tom, and—the hatches being off—fell into the hold in jured, and was easily taken. A cod of about 201 b was hooked by our fishermen on Friday, which had been just at hauling seized by the head by a very large skate. So firmly bad the skate taken its hold on the head of the fish as for it to be easily taken with the cod. THE COTTON MANUFACTURING IDISTRIors,—.
